To be honest, I think this will create problems when working with the
RichTextArea API.
Why? Because every developer will intuitively look for setText. For example,
TextArea
—https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/control/TextArea.html
—
has setText. CodeArea has setText. But RichTextArea doesn't.
This doesn't seem very good. But that's just my personal opinion.

I've just found out that RichTextArea doesn't have a setText method, but
CodeArea does.
Is this a mistake or was it done intentionally?

PS. Just don't think I spend my free time analyzing Javadoc. It's just that I
once opened an issue in RTFX suggesting
to add a setText method, and today, seeing this issue, I decided to mention
that JavaFX RichTextArea has such
a method. However, I was surprised not to find it.
